"It's a kinda Magic"

For the last few months, I have been going to the Comic Stop in Lynnwood to play Magic: The Gathering with George. Basically we each pick out a pre-constructed deck, then play a best 2 out of 3. Then I go to Qdoba to pick up some grub. Then we switch decks and do another best 2 out of 3.

Last Friday, Guildpact, the second set of the Ravnica Block was released. I played the Izzet Gizmometry Deck and George played the Gruul Wilding Deck. The Gruul deck was a fairly standard Monster Smash! deck. The Izzet deck on the other hand was really fun to play because it was spell heavy. There are a bunch of cards that let you send your opponents creatures back to their hands. The first game we played, I just whittled George down as I returned every creature he summoned right back to his hand.

Next week we are going to play with the other new deck and one from the first set, then the week after that we are going to try our hand at building our own decks. We will be requiring that we only purchase the same amount of cards for both of our sideboards to keep it more fun.
